New York (N.Y.) -- Politics and government
Tiemann, to whom she immediately
disclosed all that had transpired between herself and Governors Bell and
Draper. Tiemann affected great exasperation, and wrote her statement,
(which terribly excoriated Draper,) with the design of presenting it to
the Ten Governors in open session. This alarmed her, and she told her
_friend_ what had occurred, and that Governor Tiemann was about to
expose Governors Bell and Draper to the Board of Ten Governors, and to
the whole world, to which he strongly objected, as it might involve them
in a common ruin, and he urged her to request Governor Tiemann not to
present the document. And he assured her, if she permitted Governor
Tiemann to do this favor for her, that he might soon want her smiles and
beauty and caresses and embraces, (like Bell and Draper), as a requital
for his apparently disinterested and meritorious services in her behalf.
She saw Tiemann, and the document was suppressed. Draper heard of her
movements, and became jealous of her partiality for Tiemann, and he had
her suspended. But Tiemann had her reinstated. When Bell and Draper’s
time expired as Alms House Governors, Gov. Tiemann immediately resolved
that her _friend_ should not visit the Island, as the first movement to
his contemplated seduction of the beautiful matron. And he was so
determined, that he resorted to the daring effort to exclude him, even
after he obtained a permit. For Gov. Tiemann clearly saw that while her
_friend_ visited her, he (Tiemann) would have a poor chance to gratify
his own lust. Tiemann finally succeeded in ejecting her _friend_ from
the Island, and on a dark and rainy afternoon, slyly meandered into her
apartment, and after some loving smiles, and dulcet words, and melting
sighs, and tender glances, he drew his chair towards her, and began to
feel of her. She long resisted his extraordinary amorous movements, and
struck him twice, and scratched and bit him, and terribly exhausted him
and herself in their mutual struggles, and thought she had conquered
him. But in his last desperate rally, he overpowered and vanquished her,
and she had to let him go his whole length, and he accomplished his most
hellish purpose. Her boy was living in the West, and wrote to her, that
he was not only displeased with his relatives, but with the western
country, and desired to return to New York. She showed the letter to
Gov. Tiemann, and told him that she had not the money to spare to defray
his expenses home. He asked her how much it would cost. She said $15,
when he gave her $40, assuring her that he would not have it known for
the world, that he let her have money to pay her son’s expenses home.
She quieted his fears, by assuring him that she would never disclose it.
She sent the money to her boy, and he came home. Gov. Tiemann then got
him a situation, but the boy had seen Tiemann take improper liberties
with his mother, and as he strongly suspected he had allured her from
